Lu was an excellent sitter for our 3 year old daughter. She came with a great attitude and lots of activities, arts and crafts, music, and was also super patient in getting acquainted and comfortable during their first meeting. Her extensive professional history in childcare really shows through her care and attentiveness.

My name is Desiree. I live in Aravda and I have 18 years of child care experience. I have a degree in early childhood education and have worked with children ranging from infants to 10-years-olds. I have volunteered in a daycare, worked in a home daycare, and worked as a private nanny for several families. My experience includes taking care of infants, toddlers, twins, older children, and children with special needs. I have helped children with everything from toilet training to homework to learning piano. With my nurturing and patient nature, I easily taught children how to use sign language. Bringing comfort and joy to children has also brought confidence and new ideas to those entrusted to my care. I areliable, caring, trustworthy, patient and a loving caregiver. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I am available to work Monday-Friday.

Desiree cared for our daughter from 7 months to 2 years old and quickly became part of our family. She loved our daughter deeply and communicated openly and clearly with us. Desiree's educational approach allowed our daughter to explore and learn new things daily. They would go on daily walks where she allowed our daughter to lead the pace, and truly experience the world. They would always have fun whether it was quiet time cuddling and reading a book or in the backyard playing at the water table and slide. Her extensive experience, patience, and dedication ensured our daughter's safety and growth. Desiree was very responsible, always on time, and willing to help out in any way. She was flexible and willing to swap days or do additional days when our other caregivers (grandparents) had appointments or trips. Desiree always informed us about any behavioral issues and handled them thoughtfully, ensuring consistency in care. She had such a positive impact on our daughter's early years. We highly recommend Desiree to any family. Her love, dedication, and professionalism make her an exceptional nanny. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their children.

Kamryn M., Babysitter in Lafayette, CO 80026 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Kam, and I’m a kind, compassionate, and caring gal born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky! 💓 I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and 8+ years of nannying experience. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Special Education and have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school. Throughout my nannying career, I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside some amazing little humans! I previously nannied full-time for twin boys from 12 months until they were about 6 years old. I also spent several years caring for a Colorado family with a toddler and an infant. Building lasting relationships with children and their families, watching little personalities blossom, and celebrating milestones are some of the most rewarding parts of my work. 🍎✏️ I also worked at a Montessori school in Boulder, Colorado, caring for infants (2–18 months), toddlers (12 months–3 years), and preschoolers (3–6 years). My background has given me a strong understanding of child development, age-appropriate activities, positive guidance, and creating safe, nurturing environments where children can explore, learn, and thrive. I’ve recently renewed my infant and adult CPR and First Aid certifications and hold multiple PDIS certifications related to childcare, education, and child safety. Although I’ve spent time teaching in a classroom, I’ve realized how much I miss the one-on-one connections that come with nannying. I love getting to know each child’s unique personality, building meaningful relationships with families, and being a consistent, caring presence as little ones grow. In my free time, you’ll usually find me taking my miniature dachshund, Arlo, on walks and hikes, finding new local cuisines, enjoying the outdoors, or getting creative with arts and crafts, board games, and music! I love bringing that same creativity into my time with children through nature exploration, art projects, reading, and imaginative play. 🎨🐾 I’d love to find a family where we can build a trusting, long-term relationship! Whether you need a regular nanny, an occasional babysitter, or an extra set of hands when life gets busy, I’d love to chat. I can’t wait to meet your family! 💓

Princess M., Babysitter in Lafayette, CO 80026 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Princess, and I have over 5 years of experience working with children in professional childcare settings. My background includes caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, with a strong focus on creating safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I am also a new mother to a baby girl and am currently seeking a nanny position with a family that is comfortable with my daughter accompanying me during working hours. Ideally, I would love to work with a family whose child is close in age to mine so they can grow, learn, and socialize together in a small, personalized care setting. My childcare philosophy centers on patience, responsiveness, and meaningful engagement. I enjoy supporting developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, reading, outdoor activities, sensory experiences, and consistent daily routines. I believe children learn best when they feel secure, valued, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Families can expect reliable communication, a calm and caring presence, and someone who genuinely enjoys helping children reach new milestones. I look forward to connecting with families who are seeking personalized, attentive care and who value the benefits of a small, family-like environment for their child.

Hi, my name is Katie and for the past 5 years I have been a nanny for several families with children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I love the children I take care of and try to find creative ways of engaging like having random dance parties, creating obstacle courses and making carnivorous plants out of Magna-Tiles. I am musically inclined, artsy, athletic and enjoy tutoring/teaching. I have CPR/First Aid certification and also happy to cook, clean, run errands and drive the children to school/activities (I have my own car). Currently I’m in search of a short-term (1-3 months) part-time (16-24 hours) nanny/house manager position within Boulder County, preferably close to Louisville. I am available Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays anytime between 8:30 and 6:00, $22-$25 an hour. Hoping to start as soon as Monday Feb 14th. If interested please contact me, I'd be happy to share my resume and references.

We interviewed Katie for a nanny share. She was great, outgoing and friendly. It ultimately did not work out for the nanny share given the schedule conflicts, but we would definitely hire her for occasional nights and weekends.
